md: kill STRIPE_OP_MOD_DMA in raid5 offload
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the
parity block after checking parity. It took advantage of the fact that
xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check
parity without writing to memory. Remove it for the following reasons:
1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and
non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum
2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock
3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated
parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.
